What this Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers how Universal Laser treats personal information that it collects and receives with respect to your use of the website located at www.ulsinc.com (the “Website’) and any services accessible through the Website (the “Services”). Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable such as your name, address, email address, phone number or other information about you when it is directly linked with your personally identifiable information. Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Website or about a group or category of products, services or users, from which individual identities or other personal information is not attached or has been removed. This Privacy Policy does not apply to aggregate information. It also does not apply to any companies or websites that Universal Laser does not own or control, or to people that Universal Laser does not employ or manage.

Information We Collect

You may choose to provide your personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) to Universal Laser through the Website. Here are some of the ways you may provide personal information, information and the types of information you may submit.
